The album features a healthy mix of country classics and contemporary bluegrass songs: Sparks revives warhorses from the repertoires of Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, and Hank Williams, complementing them with material from present- day writers including Wyatt McCubbin and Daniel Crabtree.An evocative, heart- felt singer with few peers, younger bluegrass musicians are inspired by and study the subtle nuances of Sparks' vocal style. But Sparks, however, is a double threat, being equally revered for his innovative guitar playing. Countless guitarists have tried to emulate his singular fatpicking style, but few - if any - have truly mastered it. For some years, fans of the Bluegrass icon have requested that he do a project of this nature. At long last, that wait is over. Listeners get pure Larry Sparks. Recorded at his newly built home studio, it's just him, his signature 1954 D-28 and his son Larry \"D\" Sparks providing subtle backing rhythm on bass. The warmth and intimacy of this album affords his admirers the opportunity to pull up a chair, relax, and listen to a true bluegrass master do what he does best - playing and singing from his heart to theirs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracks: Long Way to Denver \/ Don't Neglect the Rose \/ Mom and Dad's Waltz \/ Great High Mountain \/ Sweetheart \/ How About You \/ She Thinks I Still Care \/ Bring 'Em on Back \/ Mama's Apron Strings \/ The Scarlet Red Lines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REBEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42412699091100,"sku":"REBCD1880","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_483f44b6-53f8-4626-a2b1-43e6509f6d1c.jpg?v=1679584697","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/larry-sparks-its-just-me-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
